Today I’m using the new Colorful Seasons bundle for the sketch challenge for the Paper Players. I love Adirondack chairs so this bundle was perfect for me 🙂 . I started by adding some Color Theory DSP Stack to a white panel (all corners rounded with the envelope punch board). The Dapper Denim panel was adhered and then all were attached to the Dapper Denim card base. I adhered the Dapper Denim chair with thin strips of dimensionals to the white square that was cut out with the stitched square framelit. The square was added to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I used the retired Washi Label Punch for the sentiment.

Before I get to my project for today, I’d like to thank the design team from Fab Friday for choosing my card as one of their Fab Four. If you missed it, you can see it here. I appreciate being considered, Thank You!

When I saw the Tic-Tac-Toe challenge from the Paper Craft Crew I was drawn immediately to the center square, “Favorite Stamp Set”. As a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator I was able to order the “Crafting Forever” early and I’m loving it. It is truly my favorite stamp set……..for now anyway 🙂 .

There are so many possibilities with this set and I love all of the sentiments. I love “Crafting Forever! Housework Whenever”. I think this has been my philosophy long before it became a stamp. LOL Anyway back to the challenges. For the Paper Craft Crew Challenge I chose Bright Color, Favorite Stamp Set and Ribbon. I used these for the CAS(E) this Sketch challenge.

I started the card by using the “Oh My Stars” TIEF on the top portion of the white card front. I attached the ribbon and then mounted it with Stampin’ Dimensionals to the card base. I stamped with brushes with Gray Archival ink on Shimmery White cardstock. I colored the images with Watercolor Pencils and used the blender pen and Wink of Stella to blend. I used one of the oval stitched framelits to cut out the image and adhered it to a scalloped oval. I adhered the oval to the card. After the sentiment was stamped I used one of the square stitched framelits to cut it out and added it to a scalloped square. This was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. A small rhinestone is the finishing touch.

If you need any stamping supplies I’d be happy to be your demonstrator. If you have any questions or comments, I’d love to hear from you.

Happy Memorial Day! Thank you to all the brave men and women who have given their lives to defend our freedom here at home!

Today is the warmest Memorial Day we have had in 20 years. We are used to cooler and usually wetter holiday weekends. Not this year! So the warmth made me think of the Ice Cream Truck in the neighborhood which then made me think of the Cool Treats bundle. This stamp set and framelits are in the new catalog. The bundle price expires 5/31/17. My project today is based on the color challenge from Hand Stamped Senitments and Freshly Made Sketches.
